Interesting. But Apple can easily get around that tax by using one of its foreign companies, one of its holding companies, or one of its foreign brokerage accounts to buy back the U.S. stock from overseas. That non-regressive tax is only for weaker medium sized companies that don’t have any international incorporations or companies that want to pay more taxes out of charity.

It’s very sad that the Inflation Reduction Act was nothing more than tax increases when it should’ve been solely cuts to wasteful government spending instead. Instead of cutting spending, they did the opposite and increased spending.

Is that possible to do without also forgetting why it’s dangerous? That seems like it would fuel a pattern of addiction where the person gets addicted, forgets why, then gets addicted again because we wiped their knowledge of the consequences the first time around.

Then again, I suppose if the addiction was in response to a particular stimulus (death of a family member, getting fired, etc) and that stimulus doesn’t happen again, maybe it would make a difference?

It does have a tinge of “those who don’t recall the past are doomed to repeat it”.
Move and value (deep copy) semantics exist in Rust too, but neither of those does the same thing as passing a raw pointer (or reference). Which you can do in c++, but not safely. That’s the difference with Rust.

In C or C++ if a function/method takes a raw pointer (or some other lifetime-constrained type like string_view), I have no idea if it’s going to stash it somewhere and try to look at it again later. If it returns a raw pointer or reference, I don’t know whether it is going to get invalidated by some future call. Iterator invalidation is a huge source of UB in C++ but completely unknown in rust.

Clearly having a hash map where all the values are stored indirectly in shared_ptr would let you provide a safe access API, but would be horrible for performance. In Rust you can have the safe API without compromising on efficiency.
No offense, but why would people use this without associated source code for anyone to scrutinize? Why keep it private? WebRTC based tools like this exist so it’s only a red flag IMO to keep it private.

I have heard that most of the "solving" you are doing is mostly to generate mouse movements and click timing that can be tracked and analysed to determine uniqueness that implies non-automation. That's probably the reason keyboard shortcuts aren't the default on 3x3 captchas. (There's a userscript I used previously that would let me hit a numpad button to click on corresponding images. It was great)
Data google knows about you from elsewhere on the web is also used to determine humanity.

Even if AI blows past the percentage of the time recaptcha considers a failure (IIRC, 0.1%) it's not going away, since it cuts down on so much low-effort spam. See also: forums that use "What is 2+3?" as a captcha on registration forms.
That matches the 'static_assert' portion of my sample code. The implied claim of the parent I replied to was that rust could do this even for runtime values, such as the one I am using in the main of my sample.
In c++ it is the same function running both the compile time check and the unchecked runtime variant, so there is zero overhead at runtime. I can't possibly think of a way how rust would be able to make the same code in my sample safe without adding runtime checks. If I am mistaken here I sure would like to know.

I would initially assume that the problem is due to compatibility concerns (like NFS3 requiring 32-bit timestamps), but is instead a rather Debian-specific problem:

Or we can do library transitions for the set of all libraries that reference time_t in their ABI; this is a bit more work for everyone in the short term because it will impact testing migration across all archs rather than being isolated to a single port, but it’s on the order of 500 library packages which is comparable to other ABI transitions we’ve done in the past (e.g. ldbl https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/05/msg01173.html).
I’ve used WorkDocs, I was excited about having something we could run in AWS, that could be backed up, to avoid other islands of data.

We tried to roll it out to the employees and they revolted, they claimed it was too complicated to use and preferred to use Google Drive and Drop Box. It was just too cumbersome to use in comparison to the alternatives.

I suspected that the writing was on the wall when AWS decided against coming out a native version for Mac with M1 processors.

I hope someone at AWS or an open source project makes a better attempt next time.

The overlap of people buying an EV and who listen to AM radio regularly enough to care is going to be minuscule. I’d even hazard that once EVs are mandated.

Between the standard AM radio content and the availability of better options like streamed audio, I just don’t see people caring.

Until and unless an emergency does happen, in which case, they’d have to actively know to tune in (unlikely) and have to not want to pull over to listen.

They’d also have to be in a situation where the other emergency broadcast tools on their phones don’t work.

I just don’t see it being anything that any number of consumers would care about, beyond the standard number of outliers that are usually accounted for.

I didn't understand the implications of the FTCs decision here. Presumably no one is colluding to use the algorithm together. They are each independently clients of the algorithm creator.

So is the first user to buy the software okay? But then each subsequent user is colluding with the former clients?
Gaming web sites publish articles on how to create PSN accounts in other regions[0] because this is common practice for gamers who care about imports (hence why Play-Asia will sell you out of region PSN gift cards). I imagine China is a special case because of the totalitarian dictatorship's restrictions on gaming and the fact that Playstation does business there which means they have to keep Winnie the Pooh[1] happy. The Chinese version of the PS5 seems to be region locked[2] which is not the case for PS5s sold in other countries.

People get so into this romantic fantasy of sturdy glass. Simultaneously completely blinded to the downsides and believing that we don't have, CAN'T POSSIBLY have, widely available modern equivalents, because "evil capitalism".

Y'all, it's called Corelle, and you can buy it literally everywhere. It's extremely available. Ubiquitous even. And it's just not worth it for the same reason given right there at the very end in the epilogue:

> While the Superfest glass is by far more durable than normal glass, when they shatter – they burst into a million fine pieces and are a total nightmare to clean up. I’m not sure if it’s because of their potassium chloride coating or because they are made to be super thin, my advice is to not drop them.

The reality is that the failure mode absolutely sucks. Dropping one and having it survive is a neat party trick, but all it takes is one break for the observer to completely swear off the experience forever.

Google "corelle exploded".

> Are you saying this with the personal experience of being from a country that now speaks the language of its colonizer?

And to be clear, the US is excluded from this. Our cultural memory of our colonial history is an outlier—for most Americans our sense of our relationship with Britain is more that of friendly rivals than colonizer-colonized. The difference is largely because most of us are descended from the colonists (or people who arrived much later), not from the people that were there first, so the abuses that our ancestors suffered barely even register on the scale of colonial abuse.

That contrasts sharply with how the Irish or most Africans feel towards their former colonial powers. It's hard to feel positively towards a flag that represents a power that repeatedly committed genocide against your people.
Right, but that's redundant with the stack trace. It's not actually helpful to run a big program I don't know very well and panic with a single "your goose isn't cromulent!" message from a call 20 levels deep.

In your example, it's likely that the person who sees this message won't have enough context to understand it; it's more like a debugging assert. Since you'll need a debugger and a breakpoint anyway, the message isn't very helpful.
I suspect those were intended to be self closing tags like <img> <br> <meta> etc.
Never forget:

Sen. Ron Wyden: "So what I wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question, does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

When asked if he lied to congress, Clapper said: "When Senator Wyden asked me the question I simply didn’t think of the business records telephony metadata, at the time stored by NSA..."

Anything this guy touches needs a thorough investigation.
So the risk is that if intent is shown the spoliated evidence is assumed to be unfavorable for the party responsible, so the court will tell the jury to consider the facts in light of the missing evidence being negative for Google. It can also result in a default judgment against Google.

If Sony doesn't have any presence in those countries, as evidenced by the fact that you can't create PSN accounts for those countries, do those countries even have jurisdiction over Sony? More practically, what leverage do they have to enforce compliance? Meta (Facebook) doesn't have any presence in China, so they can safely ignore any takedown requests from them, even if they are actually violating Chinese law.

Well the first thing I did was go to the about page to see who started it, but they don’t list anyone in the section titled “who are we”. I sort of found loose evidence of who might actually involved and not just some random email signup, but it was not helpful.

A straw man is an attacking a different argument, not focusing on one particularly noteworthy piece of evidence. Asserting that I’m saying space is their primary concern is, ironically, a straw man argument. Because I’m not saying that. I’m saying that it’s a red flag.

An organization focused on financial technology has no reason to be hosting a talk on UFOs. I don’t think their thing is UFOs. But I do think maybe their thing is trying to attract complete fucking morons that think they know better than the rest of society in the vein that “UFOs are aliens” is markedly compatible with “blockchain is the solution society needs”.

I actually feel very comfortable writing off any organization as idiots, crazies, or predatory snake oil salesmen for hosting a single event on the presence of aliens among us. I don’t require that to be their whole thing. That’s just a hilariously bright red flag.

This analysis ignores the impact of competition. A car produced today is better (and more complex to make) than a car produced in 1980.

Technological productivity isn’t just about improving the number of units or dollar value produced/hours input. Technology can make products more competitive without any increase in productivity by making them better, and, therefore more attractive, to customers even if unit cost or volume stays fixed.
In disaster or end of world situations why do you want your emergency radio to be a car? Likely hard or hazardous to get to to get to, decent probability of not being functional in the situation, and wont have power for long otherwise.

AM is great for emergencies so put a wind up in your emergency kit. If, for some reason, you need to take it to your car then go ahead. Want one at home and one in your car? Go nuts.
> but in general time_t is commonly an int32 type - doesn't matter what OS it compiles on

Maybe 20 years ago, but these days you cannot make such a generalization. For example, VC++ uses a 64-bit time_t even in 32-bit builds unless you explicitly define _USE_32BIT_TIME_T. on 64-bit builds, a 32-bit time_t would be an illegal configuration that won't even build.

std::monostate is a "unit type"[1]; there's only one value with with type monostate (the value is std::monostate{}), so all monostate values are equivalent.

Infalible is a "empty type"[2]; there are no values with type Infalible, so a value cannot be constructed, so Optional<Infalible> is always None, never Some(infallible). Importantly, the compiler knows this and can use it to reason about the correctness of code.

C++ has no empty types. Void is close, but it's sometimes used where a unit type would be used, and anyway it's not a first class type. For example, you can't use std::optional<void>. Even if it were possible to make an empty type in C++, it wouldn't give you anything, because the compiler isn't equipped to reason about them.

BTW, the rust equivalent to std::optional<std::monostate> is Optional<()>. The empty tuple is Rust's idomatic unit type.

> But it is more heartbreaking than your girl dumping you, that someone else has already built your idea/product.

This is the kind of mentality that makes people deservedly dislike and mock tech bros. You’re tacitly admitting you don’t even care about the product or idea, you only care if you specifically can profit from it. And that if you can’t, it affects you on a deeper emotional level (heartbreak) than actual human connection.

> Or even worse is that the product you want to build cannot be a real business.

Oh, the humanity! You want to make something for the sole purpose of making money and no one wants to give you money for it. The horror! The injustice!

You could, you know, try to make something you want to use, or that is helpful to your family/friends/community. Something whose success if defined by any metric other than money.

As another commenter has pointed out, this really sounds like you’re trying to steal ideas.

Yeah, no. No one wants to be signed up to a random newsletter. Collecting emails and using them in this manner without consent is the fast lane to be fined under the GDPR. That again just sounds like you’re trying to throw anything at the wall to profit later.

I don't know I ton about amnesia, but I would think the facilities for changing their mind are still there.

E.g. ordering food, they might immediately change their mind after choosing something and correct their order.

I recognize they cannot form new memories but from what I understand they still would have a working memory, otherwise you'd be virtually unable to think and speak.

It sounds like the only answer for AI is the same as the only answer for humans.

Wisdom. Arriving at actions and reactions based on better understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependency of everything and everyone. (knowing more not less, and not selective or bowdlerized)

And most humans don't even have it. Most humans are not interested and don't believe and certainly don't act as though "What's good for you is what's good for me, what harms you harms me." Every day a tech podcaster or youtuber says this or that privacy loss or security risk "doesn't affect you or me", they all affect you and me, when a government or company gives themselves and then abuses power over a single person anywhere, that is a hit to you and me even though we aren't that person, because that person is somebody, and you and I are somebody.

Most humans ridicule anyone that talks like that and don't let them near any levers of power at any scale. They might be ok with it in inconsequential conversational contexts like a dinner party or this or this forum, but not in any decision-making context. Anyone talking like that is an idiot and disconnected from reality, they might drive the bus off the bridge because the peace fairies told them to.

If an AI were better than most humans and had wisdom, and gave answers that conflicted with selfishness, most humans would just decide they don't like the answers and instructions coming from the AI and just destroy it, or at least ignore it, pretty much as they do today with humans who say things they don't like.

Perhaps one difference is an AI could actually be both wise and well-intentioned rather than a charlatan harnessing the power of a mass of gullables, and it could live longer than a human and it's results could become proven-out over time. Some humans do get recognized eventually, but by then it doesn't do the rest of us any good because they can no longer be a leader as they're too old or dead. Then again maybe that's required actually. Maybe the AI can't prove itself because you can never say of the AI, "What does he get out of it by now? He lived his entire life saying the same thing, if he was just trying to scam everyone for money or power or something, what good would it even do him now? He must have been sincere the whole time."

But probably even the actual good AI won't do much good, again for the same reason as with actually good humans, it's just not what most people want. Whatever individuals say about what their values are, by the numbers only the selfish organisations win. Even when a selfish organization goes too far and destroys itself, everyone else still keeps doing the same thing.
